   What would be the proper way to ask for re-evaluation of nedit ? It 
has a pretty strange history: included up to RHEL 4, dropped in 5.0, 
readded in 5.3 (or 5.4).. now I see it being dropped again ...
   A large part of my colleagues prefer using it ( the other ones in 
use over here being mostly emacs and jedit ).
